Council Minutes of S/8/2002 project so that the residents can call one person for updates. Mayor Musial said they should call Service Director Ray Thomas. Bob Hughes, 18705 Rockland, Cleveland, Ohio, wanted to congratulate everybody who put their efforts into saving the North Olmsted school system. For the past two weeks, he has visited various places in North Olmsted and asked for support for the school system. For the past twenty years, he has been trying to help people. In the 1980's, he asked that shelters be built for the homeless, and he has asked physicians to help the poor and needy people. He thanked his friends for giving him the support to keep up his work. Bill Bruton, 26724 Sweetbrier Drive, said that for years there was a yellow flashing light at the end of Carnerbury and also on Claque Road. Recemly, those systems have been changed to allow pedestrians to push a button to activate the flashing lights. He asked if the color of the lights could be changed to red. Mr. Limpert explained that the Traffic Engineer has informed Council that Ohio law does not allow the use of red flashers. He explained that the reason the flashers are not on continually is that motorists react better when the flashers only work when needed instead of flashing constantly. Mr. Miller agreed that the Traffic Engineer had advised that the state code does not allow red lights for that purpose. He noted that he was also concerned about the color of the flashers. Fire equipment leaving the stations have a red flashing light, but an area where children may be crossing only has yellow flashers. Mr. Dailey said that the city is looking into putting in an in-ground caution light system at Claque Road. If it is successful there, perhaps it can be installed on Carnerbury Road. Bob Hughes, a member of the Northeast Coalition for the Homeless, asked that people who are able donate money so that more shelters can be built for the homeless. There are 7,700 people in Cleveland who could use this help. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2002-48 introduced by Mayor Musial was given its third reading.
